Orbital integration is a technique that sits at the crossroad of observations and simulations and is fundamental in expanding the number of dynamical parameters we can study to properly characterise celestial tracers (stars, clusters, …). In an era of ever increasing accuracy of observational data and complex, parsec-scale simulations, we need to develop models that replicate the observed galactic structures and substructures as precisely as possible. I will present a new orbital integration tool built around a up-to-date potential model of the Milky Way and use it to study the globular cluster population of the Galaxy.
